This was it. It was an hour until I would have to go onstage with my 5 new brothers. I was in the dressing room getting my hair and makeup on. My shoulder length hair was now straight instead of its usual curly, my blue eyes seemed to shimmer with my light eyeshadow and eyeliner, and my lips were a beautiful shade of pink. I always considered myself as unattractive, but now I felt absolutely beautiful.
I was a nervous wreck. i was close to tears, and i was starting to talk myself out of it. I couldnt do this, there were so many eyes out there that would be on me! if i were to screw this up, I would never live it down.
" Honey? Are you alright? you look alittle pale." the stylist says. I look up at her and nod, not being able to use my voice.
" would you like some water?" i nod again and she hands me a bottle of water. I chug it, my nerves making my mouth dry. then someone knocks on the door.
" ill get it." i say, wobbling in my heels. I open the door and Louis is standing there, with his usual red trousers and striped shirt with, of course, a bright blue pair of suspenders.
" you are looking amazing this evening if i say so myself." he says, pulling me out into the hallway.
" Thanks." i say, my voice unstable. " you look great too."
" why, thank you!" he says, pulling his suspenders with a stupid look on his face. i giggle and smile.
" what do you want louis?"
" i wanted to see if you were okay. you havent said a word since lunch."
" i think ill be alright." He raises an eyebrow and i shake my head.
" Alright im freaking out! i cant do this Louis! not with all of those people!"
" dont worry about it, babe! everything will be okay." he says, putting his hand on my shoulder. His voice is serious.
" i- i dont know. i just...." i cant seem to gather my thoughts.
" listen, I was mess when I auditioned for X factor. i realized that being nervous wasnt going to get me anywhere. I decided to put my nervousness into a good performance, not let it get in my way. They loved me and BAM! here i am." he says comfortingly. His words calm me, and I try to do what he says. Ive always wanted to perform, but never had the guts to try. This was my chance and I wanted it to be great.
" thanks Lou, that means alot." i say, holding my arms out for a hug. Im confused when he just stands there, but I dont say anything.
Then.....he kisses me.
His kiss is gentle and comforting. He sends a chill down my spine and I feel my cheeks begin to burn. I kiss him back, feeling my heart beat out of control. He had caught me by surprise. The kiss wasnt long, but I enjoyed every second of it.
He departs from me and just looks at me for a moment. His eyes search my face for emotions. I smile and kiss him once more on the cheek.
" LOU! WHERE HAVE YOU BEN! ITS 10 MINS UNTIL SHOW TIME WE HAVE TO GET OUR MICS ON AND GET INTO PLACES! WHAT ARE YOU DO-" harry screams from down the hall and stops mid sentence.
" OOOHHHH! im sorry i seem to have ruined a moment. Liam is gonna be so-" he chuckles
" OOOOPS! sorry gotta go!" Louis says, letting go of me and bolting down the hallway.
" What will Liam be?" I yell to Harry
" Nothing! See you soon!"
I giggle and sigh. Well, at least my nerves are gone.
